- Read this scary article on Twitter’s status blog (why news this important isn’t on their company blog is beyond me, way more readers over there)
- Decide to do the right thing and change my password
- Go to bed
- Wake up and try logging in with my new credentials, only to find all Twitter applications throwing authentication errors at me
- Make a cup of chai hoping I was just dreaming
- Go to twitter.com and try again there, failing
- Getting mad and flipping the caged bird
- Realizing this is the ultimate 1st world problem and feeling ashamed
The end.
- Looks like too many apps tried loggin into Twitter without the new password all at once. This caused the service to temporary disable access to my account. Fair enough.
